Jeanie Schmidt Free Clinic (formerly Herndon Free Clinic) has been
selected as a featured charity in the 2007-08 Catalogue for
Philanthropy. This is the Catalogue's fifth year in the Washington, DC
region. Supported by local foundations (Harman Family Foundation,
Meyer Foundation, Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation, J
Willard and Alice S Marriott Foundation, Marriott, Freddie Mac
Foundation, John Edward Fowler Memorial Foundation, Corina
Higginson Trust) and local corporations (CGI, Chevy Chase Trust,
Fannie Mae, Landon Butler & Co.) as a service to the community, the
Catalogue profiles environmental, cultural, educational, human
services, and international organizations. Sixty eight nonprofits were
chosen this year by a review committee of 55 experienced grantmakers
and members of local nonprofit organizations. The group includes 11
nonprofits that were first featured in the 03-04 Catalogue. Each
Catalogue also relists prior years' charitable organizations, which are
live at the website, www.catalogueforphilanthropy-dc.org. The new
Catalogue goes live on October 4th.
According to Barbara Harman, Executive Director of the Harman
Family Foundation, "The Catalogue is designed to be a showcase for
DC region philanthropy and an inviting way for individuals and
families to participate in charitable giving." A single check sent to the
Catalogue's DC office, or an online donation at its website,
www.catalogueforphilanthropy-dc.org, can be allocated to as many
charities as the donor pleases. Donors may also contact the charities
directly. "Because the Catalogue is fully paid for by its philanthropic
partners," Harman notes, "100% of every donation goes to the
designated nonprofits."
